Amazing video, DollarBill.  "Necessity is the mother of invention" comes to mind!

Thanks for sharing! I recently got back from a trip to Cuba and wish I would have taken photos of how they had re-purposed various things. Perhaps if it becomes easier to travel there, Cubans can teach us all how to be a little more mustachian and less wasteful. 

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
